New approach to the synthesis of 3-amino-1,2-benzothiazine 1,1-dioxides

The possibility of obtaining 3-amino-1,2-benzothiazine 1,1-dioxides by nucleophilic substitution of the chlorine atom in 5-nitro-2-chlorobenzenesulfonamides by carbanions generated from substituted acetonitriles was studied.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 264–266, February, 1992.

Polymérisation anionique amorcée par les composés lamellaires du graphite et du lithium

In the present work, we use the binary insertion compound LiC₁₂ to polymerize styrene, methyl methacrylate, butadiene, isoprene, and to copolymerize isoprene and styrene in various hydrocarbon solvents (aromatics and aliphatic) and etheral solvents. We show that the styrene polymerization in aromatic solvents gives better yields than in the etheral solvents, the polymer being atactic. Methyl methacrylate does not polymerize in toluene but does so completely in DME. More generally, the yields of polymerization are better with KC₃₇ than with LiC₁₂ because of the different capacities of the monomer to get into the carbon layers. The polymerization of dienes with LiC₁₂ shows that the microstructures of the polymer obtained in π-or n-donor solvents are similar to the ones obtained by homogenous polymerization with Li cation in such solvents. However, for isoprene in cyclohexane, the results are different. The isoprene styrene copolymers are statistical ones and the mean length of styrene blocks is less than 5. The monomer interaction with the insertion compound and the growing chain geometry between the carbon layers are the facts which control either the stereospecificity of the polymerization or the selectivity of the copolymerization.     

Derivatives of l-H-aziridine-2-carboxylic acid

The reaction of 1,1-dimethylhydrazine with acrylic acid derivatives gave a number of 1,1-dimethyl-2-(2-substituted ethyl)hydrazines, which were quaternized by alkylating agents. The transformations of 1,1,1-trimethyl-2-(2-substituted ethyl)hydrazinium salts in the presence of sodium methoxide were investigated. 2-Cyano-, 2-carbomethoxy-, 2-carbethoxy-, and 2-carbodiethylamidoaziridines and a number of products of decomposition of the starting salts were obtained.     

Oxidation and Reduction Processes During NO x Removal with Corona-Induced Nonthermal Plasma

In this paper, the NO-to-NO ₂ conversion in various gaseous mixtures is experimentally investigated. Streamer coronas are produced with a dc-superimposed high-frequency ac power supply (10–60 kHz). According to NO _x removal experiments in N ₂ +NO _x and N ₂ +O ₂ +NO _x gaseous mixtures, it is supposed that the reverse reaction NO ₂ +ONO+O ₂ may not only limit NO ₂ production in N ₂ +NO _x mixtures, but also increase the energy cost for NO removal. Oxygen could significantly suppress reduction reactions and enhance oxidation processes. The reduction reactions, such as N+NON ₂ +O, induce negligible NO removal provided the O ₂ concentration is larger than 3.6%. With adding H ₂ O into the reactor, the produced NO ₂ per unit removed NO can be significantly reduced due to NO ₂ oxidation. NH ₃ injection could also significantly decrease the produced NO ₂ via NH and NH ₂ - related reduction reactions. Almost 100% of NO ₂ can be removed in gaseous mixtures of N ₂ +O ₂ +H ₂ O+NO ₂ with negligible NO production.
